Last week, in an attempt to rebuild its tattered reputation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced via email a forthcoming "revamp" of the agency. The supposed overhaul is at least a year late and more than a dollar short. The proposed overhaul will be based on a one-month review to "kick off an evaluation of CDC's structure, systems, and processes."
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky has already handpicked a leader: an administrator from another division within the Department of Health and Human Services; three CDC officials will also conduct the review.
